Anti Hero Lyrics Written by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff. In the song, which Swift wrote and directed, we see several other visuals (besides the silly ghosts) that give her fans a first-hand glimpse of those intrusive thoughts.
Anti-Hero Lyrics
I have this thing where I get older,
but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard
shift, all of the people
I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices I end up in crisis
(Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming One day,
I’ll watch as you’re leaving ‘Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)
It’s me, hi I’m the problem, it’s me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
Sometimes, I feel like
everybody is a sexy baby
And I’m a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out,
slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman? (A tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming One day,
I’ll watch as you’re leaving And life will lose all its meaning
(For the last time)
It’s me, hi I’m the problem, it’s me
(I’m the problem, it’s me)At teatime, everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
I have this dream my daughter-in-law
kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers ’round and reads it
and then someone screams out
“She’s laughing up at us from Hell”
It’s me, hi
I’m the problem, it’s me
It’s me, hi
I’m the problem, it’s me It’s me, hi
Everybody agrees, everybody agrees
It’s me, hi (Hi)
I’m the problem, it’s me
(I’m the problem, it’s me)
At teatime (Teatime),
everybody agrees
(Everybody agrees)
I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
